CBMGA Crinum Lily Bed

Click Back to go back to the previous page.
Welcome to our Crinum Lily Bed. The bed was established in early 2017 to hold our crinum lilies. We had them in our Flowering Bulb Bed, but due to the size they were getting to be, we decided to build a separate bed for them. The Crinums in the bed are the Ellen Bousenquet, Maiden’s Blush, Milk and Wine, Powellii and Sangria.
Our Crinum Bed is misshapen ellipse with a major axis of @ 25 feet and a minor axis of @ 10 feet. The Crinum bed was constructed as a raised bed for multiple reasons of which the location on the property included partially sloping ground surface which would not be conducive to containing the bulbs or planting medium in place and part of the ground surface included an old asphalt driveway. It came about as a result of the Crinums that were planted in the Bulb Bed were doing so well they were taking over the Bulb Bed…and so the Crinum Bed.

Janeice	The bed head for the Bulb bed is Janeice Pyle. Janeice graduated as a Master Gardener in 2017 and took over the Bulb Bed in August of 2017. Janeice really has stepped up and become a really active member taking over the bulb bed and crinum beds. The flowering Bulb, Corm, Rhizome and Tuber bed was just built in early 2016. So here is a great big thank you to Janeice and all of the other Master Gardeners that have worked to make the bulb bed all it can be.
